Properties in this group control the order in which table rows appear, as well as whether the end user can re-sort table rows by clicking on a column header.
When this property is enabled, the end user can click a column’s header to sort the table rows according to the values in that column. The
sortAscendingFlag property determines whether the sort is initially ascending or descending. Clicking a column header again reverses the sort order. In Dashboard Builder,
sortAscendingFlag changes in real time to reflect the current sort order, and
sortColumnName changes in real time to reflect the current sort column.
In addition, when this property is enabled, a sort icon (an arrow head) appears next to the header of the current sort column (determined initially by
sortColumnName). The direction in which the arrow head points indicates whether the current sort order is ascending or descending.
Determines whether the current sort order is ascending or descending. See
sortColumnName and
showSortIconFlag.
Sets the column whose values determine the order in which table rows appear. If
sortAscendingFlag is enabled, rows with earlier values (either numerically or alphabetically) appear first. See also
showSortIconFlag.
